Pros

The moment you quit PubMatic, it's the best thing that can happen to you.

Cons

Culture here is so bad. If you have to ask yourself if you are in hell or heaven, PubMatic is definitely hell. Management sucks, people think they know it all but honestly they really don't. If you are really that smart, you wouldn't be at PubMatic. Some people have no morale at all, they need to literally suck up to get up here. Sad human beings.

Pros

Compensation was competitive to what other company's were offering.

Cons

The company needs better alignment and strategy within the market. The recent massive layoffs were confusing and I no longer am confident in my job security.
